A space in the diary, Exeter MRX with the traditional SWOONS
heavy presence and, a realisation that it is 3 years since I last got to this
excellent show! No excuses then and on a fine Saturday morning I duly arrived
in Exeter to find a bevy of 009 layouts and a publicity stand camped just
inside the entrance, so that everyone who came to the show just had to be
educated about the 009 Society before passing on into the less exciting world
of standard gauge layouts – although to be fair, some of them were very good!
The only negative point of an otherwise excellent day was that the entrance
hall has a very large dark green skylight, causing everything to be bathed in a
ghastly turquoise coloured glow! My first 2 unedited photos show what I was
faced with – certainly a photographic challenge, which I struggled to overcome!
